Corvette Stockers & Super Stockers

[Bob Pagano]

I had a Stocker 67 bigblock out of Truppi's a year after Agaman had the first bas *** SS 454 vette that he won the world champ deal with back than . Did not look to much at the Mods.

You're welcome. I was trying to locate the above photo in my files but couldn't find it (with spending a lot of time!).

Here's a color shot of the Dog Gone Vette (on the left) in the pits at Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ sometime in the Spring of 1971. It was a (presumably original) 427/435 hp big-block car before it met its untimely demise.

M68, I didn't notice the orange Corvette on the left until I reread your comments you posted...do you or anyone else have any better pics of this one called the 'Dog Gone Vette'...anyone here know if this car was scrapped or fixed.

I was there the day the vette crashed into the tower,I seem to remember it hit Jerry Stein`s red car first!
Also I remember the driver being Timmy Smith not Randy but I could be wrong 1971 was after all a few year`s ago! lol, I remember the car up against the tower with the back tires spinning and I latter heard someone yanked the coil wire to kill it.
I am not sure if that car was fixed or they built another one but I remember another corvette stocker that had Katic and Keenan on the side of it.
